Wizards of the Coast is pulling out the stops for it's new Rage of the Demons campaign and I have to admit I am rather excited about it myself.
There is a lot going on here. Including the new Out of Abyss book and Rage of the Demons minis.
Though how is any of this going to affect the Order of the Platinum Dragon? Simple. This is a multiversal event. While all that stuff is going on in the Realms and the Sword Coast, over here in my world we are still running through what I call the "Great Greyhawk Campaign" in my campaign of the Endless Darkness.
The two campaigns are obviously linked. I'll adapt bits and pieces from the Rage of Demons to put into my campaign.
I am excited to see Demogorgon in this and the mindflayers. Mindflayers working with Orcus, that is like custom made for my games.

RPG a Day 2015, Day 15
Day 15: Longest Campaign Played
I would have to say my Dragonslayers game which began with my oldest son around 2005 or so. This year it will 10 years in. Even my current Order of the Platinum Dragon game is a continuation of it.
Though technically it is a continuation of my Mystoerth game I began in 1980.
But let's just call it 10 years.

Castle Amber, Butterbeer and the Order of the Platinum Dragon
Sunday was a humid, rainy day in Chicagoland. So what better to do than stay inside and play some D&D!
We decided to finish up Castle Amber taking them straight through all the wilderness encounters. The boys meet Skylla, though true to her rumored appearance in the D&D cartoon she appears as an old woman. They also have no idea that she is evil.
She did help them a bit on where various towns were. She wanted out of the Averoigne to get back to Glantri. There is a small problem now, but I will get to that.
The boys decided that the name of their group is The Order of the Platinum Dragon. We celebrated with some homemade butterbeer.
It was quite good, but we could saved time and had the same amount of calories and fat with we had just drank some melted butter with a couple tablespoons of sugar.
The Order managed to dispatch the Beast of Averoigne and The Colossus of Ylourgne. They were able to con and bribe the Ring of Eibon from the Archbishop. All in all, a really good session.
The Order summoned the Tomb of Stephen Amber and the mists closed in on them. Normally that is where the adventure ends and they are back in their own world. Instead when the mists cleared they discovered they are in Barovia. Well, they don't know that yet, all they know is they are not home yet.
The Sword of Sylarie was not destroyed as per the module. It is half of what will become the Sun Sword.
So up next it is the Order vs. Castle Ravenloft.
Time to grab my copy of Ravenloft and start reading again. Should not be to bad, I have run this many, many times.
It's going to be a lot of fun!
